MOGOK OR THE FORBIDDEN VALLEY
Long known as the “Forbidden Valley”, Mogok remains one of the most legendary places in gemmology. Made famous by Joseph Kessel in his book *The Valley of Rubies*, it is renowned for having produced some of the world’s finest rubies. Whilst science has now explained the origin of their exceptional red colour, Mogok’s prestige remains undiminished. And future explorations may yet reveal new treasures, for the Earth still holds many riches yet to be discovered.
